The design, manufacturing and applications of a novel led-based phototherapy device Yeni Bir LED tabanlı fototerapi cihazının tasarımı, üretimi ve uygulamaları

Yaşar, Büşra

ABSTRACTJaundice is a very common disease in infants. It is caused by an increase in the level of bilirubin in the blood. Its incidence in newborns is around 60-70. When jaundice becomes pathological, it can cause much damage to the body: brain damage, vision loss, lung and kidney dysfunction, and even death. With the increase of bilirubin and its accumulation in the organs, irreversible damage occurs. There are different methods such as exchange transfusion, medication, and phototherapy to remove bilirubin from the environment. Blue light with a wavelength of 430-490 nm is required for light ...Daha fazlası

Musculoskeletal Problems in Wheelchair Users: A Review Study

Mobility is the basic need for functionality in human life. Physically disabled people often require mobility aids and wheelchairs are the most commonly preferred assistive mobility devices for enhancing independent functional mobility. Today, powered and manual wheelchair technology is available. Manual wheelchair propulsion necessitates more repetitive loading, but because the human body is not designed for such movement, musculoskeletal and functional issues such as pain and joint limitation may arise among manual wheelchair users. They require more support from their spine, arm, elbow, and ...Daha fazlası

ABSTRACTOsteomyelitis is a disease in which the process of bone destruction and loss is caused by microorganisms. Osteomyelitis has an increasing incidence rate that could cause chronic and acute infections. Bone infection has caused recurrent and permanent damage in 40 of the patients. 2-5 of infections caused by medical devices used in orthopedic surgical operations are osteomyelitis. More than half of osteomyelitis cases are caused by gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. In order to prevent the occurance of osteomyelitis due to the medical dev ...Daha fazlası

The Effect of Nutriton and Lifestyle on Age-related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneraton is an eye disease that is one of the biggest causes of blindness worldwide. Age-related macular degeneration is a complex and multifactorial disease. Although there are many risk factors both environmental and genetic such as ethnicity, age, genetics, family history, and oxidativestress, the most effective and modifiable risk factor in preventing age-related macular degeneration is smoking. In addition, the fact that nutrition is a potentially modifiable risk factor suggeststhat it may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration. In many epidemiological ...Daha fazlası

The effect of local heating on the weld line formation in plastic ınjection molding of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and glass fiber reinforced polypropylene Akrilonitril bütadien stiren ve cam elyaf takviyeli polipropilenin plastik enjeksiyon kalıplamasında lokal ısıtmanın birleşme izi oluşumuna etkisi

Güler, Muhsin Deniz

ABSTRACTIn this study, the effect of local heating on the weld line formation in a plastic injection mold was studied by using acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polypropylene 20 glass fiber (PP GF20) plastic material. An aluminum 6000 insert was fitted into the injection mold to set temperatures for local heating. The three parameters with three levels were selected for injection molding process parameters as insert temperature, mold temperature, and melt temperature and to produce mechanical tests specimens with weld lines and non-weld lines. L9 orthogonal array was arranged for the T ...Daha fazlası

Manufacturing and Characterization of Peptide Coated Polylactic Acid Based Composites for Various Medical Applications

Metehan ATAGÜR

Within the scope of this thesis, PLA-based composites have been developed and coated with peptide to increase biocompatibility for temporary implant applications and PLA biocomposite materials have been produced. HA and β-TCP were used as additive materials, and PLLA and PDLA polymers were used as polymer matrix. The main purpose is to obtain the composite with the best mechanical properties and to improve the biocompatibility properties as a result of coating this final material with peptide. In the first stage, 10% HA (PLA-10 HA), 10% β-TCP (PLA-10TCP) and 5% HA + 5% β-TCP (PLA-5TCP-5HA) are ...Daha fazlası
